Why is the Phoenix Suns' mascot a Gorilla?

posted by (tkurc|home) on 2003-03-18 01:52:58 [#249]
tkurc|homethere are no gorillas in phoenix...
 
W-Because it has always been so.
 
tkurc|homethere is no clever pun linking the city or the team name to gorilla...
tkurc|homeI went to see the Pistons play once. They had this polar bear mascot that they borrowed from the hockey team. He was sledding down the aisles. There was a terrific crash.
tkurc|homethey like help him down the tunnel... and like 10 seconds later... out comes the polar bear all re-juvenated, like
tkurc|homeit was hilarious. the crowd cheered like the dude was all recovered.
tkurc|homebut it was a totally different bear. the dude totally wiped out and probably broke a number of bones.
 
FoibaeGorilla-suit guy just showed up one day and wouldn't leave.
 
tkurc|homethats your answer to everything

W-And...?
 
tkurc|homeand apparently Foiba looks like jeffrey dahmer
 
W-He does in that picture, yes, but not in reality
 
tkurc|homeso pictures don't equal reality?
 
W-Picture taken with the Gameboy Camera and then resized do not reflect reality
 
tkurc|homeso, as a generalization, pictures don't equal reality?
 
W-Photographs exist in another dimension, a plane of existance neither here nor there, where our souls linger in a permafrozen state of surreality, aching to show themselves to anxious viewers, yet never portraying those beings from whom their birth is creditted.
 
tkurc|homeyou're so not sexy
 
W-Its a switch, it can be turned on and off at will.
 
tkurc|homeI'm referring to your arguement that because you had a sexy picture, you were in fact sexy
 
W-Nice try.
W-In reality, I'm far more sexy!
 
tkurc|homeman, that was a hanging curveball
 
W-Worst. Talkshow. Host. Ever.

MAX PAYNE: Kung Fu Edition

posted by (Foiba) on 2003-03-16 09:39:51 [#246]
FoibaThis is a very very solid mod. I just recently played through the game, and now I'm doing it all over again.
FoibaThe only problem I've seen is that Max's kung fu is so strong right now that he might accidently kill the person he's supposed to miss in the cutscene.
FoibaThe wall-running is very fun, and now when you bullet-time with a shotgun, you flip up high in the air like some dude from Contra and no one can hit you.

W-I must say, Virtua Fighter Quest sounds like the crappiest game ever
 
tkurc|homeI donno. I've played a lot of bad games
tkurc|homemaybe its a fighting game RPG
 
FoibaShenmue was originally designed to be a Virtua Fighter RPG, but then it shifted into what Shenmue is right now
 
tkurc|homeyou play Shenmue 2?
 
FoibaShenmue 2 is incredibly boring. Instead of the sense of freedom of being a guy in a small Japanese town, you're stuck in an unfamiliar place with no money, doing pointless tasks.
FoibaI watched Clay play it for a few hours, and I spent the whole time trying desperately to get drunk on 3.2 beer, just so I could enjoy the experience a little.
FoibaOf course, when it came out on X-Box people loved it.
 
tkurc|homethats not very much beer to get drunk on
 
Foiba3.2 percent alcohol
 
tkurc|homethen thats a lot of beer to get drunk on
 
Foibathe problem is you usually get full before you get drunk. and you pee a lot
 
tkurc|homewhen I was an undergrad, we would share 30 packs of busch light between 2 people

W-and stuff goes to DVD after like 4 months
W-its not like the economy can support people having to pay $8 to see all these crappy movies
 
tkurc|homewhat was the best movie last year?
 
W-Two Towers, obviously
 
tkurc|homeoh yeah.. number 2?
 
W-...
 
tkurc|homeNOTE TO HOLLYWOOD: ENOUGH WITH THE CRAP
 
W-Didn't see too many... I disliked the techical loopholes in Minority Report... Bourne Identity wasn't great... Sum of All Fears was decent, ...
W-Frankly, I think my favorite movie saw before Two Towers was Amelie...
W-or, maybe Ocean's Eleven
W-(i mean recently)
 
tkurc|homeAmelie was good... When did Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back come out
tkurc|homebasically, Action movies have sucked ass
tkurc|homeSci-fi is where its at. And they don't know how to pull it off
 
W-something about the 80s and 90s culture greatly benefited Action
 
tkurc|homethere has been some good "stoner" comedies
tkurc|homeAmerican Pie, Dude Where's My Car, Evolution...
 
W-Lots of ebonic-oriented films lately
W-Whats up with the new Chris Rock one? Some regular dude becomes president and has a thug-life vice president?
W-I mean, I know its comedy, but its SUCH a stretch
W-and then all the capitol hill regulars start rocking out to the hip hop? i mean, really, who sees that and thinks "hmm i really need to see this film"
W-I do think I would like to see the recent Will Farrell/Owen Wilson venture, the Party House one or whatever
 
tkurc|homethe "Fish out of watre" comedy
 
FoibaI've heard that's good. "Old School"
 
tkurc|homeyes, that somewhat fits "stoner" comedy
 
W-Yeah thats it, yeah i've heard great things
 
Foibabecause it's old people doing teen shit, not beautiful stupid teens.
FoibaHave either of you seen Shaolin Soccer? It's from Hong Kong and, goddamn if it's not the best movie I've seen in two years.
 
W-I can only tolerate so many asian art products
 
tkurc|homeits it a kung fu movie?
 
Foibait's about these shaolin kung fu masters who use their super powers to play soccer. Special effects are amazing.
Foibawhat's crazy is there's no fight scenes at all. Their master told them not to fight. But the soccer games are incredible.
 
tkurc|homehuh
 
FoibaFat Guy flies 50 feet up in the air, heads it to so dude down the field, then the Iron-Leg Shaolin master nails it in.
 
W-I've never been big on the kung-fu thing... I mean its neat from time to time, but I really prefer Americanized Action movies
 
Foibaeventually, they're kicking the soccer ball in so hard, when the goalie tries to block it, it burns off all his clothes.
 
tkurc|homethat sounds like an odd movie indeed
 
FoibaHonestly, you'll be on the edge of your seat for the final soccer game, against the "Evil" team. I can't recommend the movie enough.
 
tkurc|homeXXX was pretty good... one of the better action flicks
 
W-i generally watch movies for fun, i like boobies and i like explosions... but at the same time I can appreciate more artistic films, at least, to me, liek say Gattaca, or Pi, both are some of my favorites
 
tkurc|homeI am fond of the comedy. Billy Madison is one of my favs
 
W-but i'll never do the matt thing where I get a bunch of brazillian films just so i can brag about how weird my film collection is
 
FoibaI go to movies to be entertained. I've gotten a lot of flak from friends for liking Daredevil and 8-Legged Freaks. But really, I didn't expect my money back.
 
W-I enjoy comedy as well, but very rarely see it in-theatre

Well I test-drove the Passat and Accord today...

posted by (W-) on 2003-03-12 16:31:25 [#218]
tkurcand?
 
W-the accord was first
W-the accord has power seats, dual-climate automatic control, the V-6, and a neater climate/radio control panel
W-driving the accord was in one word, "effortless"
W-very "easy"
W-it almost felt as though I wasn't actually driving anything
W-good power off the line, but compared to the Infiniti I30 I've driven lately, not as much
W-very quiet engine
W-Very smooth shifting
W-Comes in a very nice gray
W-Sound system was a little tinny in the treble
W-Wouldn't move in idle, when you let up the brake the car wouldn't move, you had to give it gas
W-the throttle was a bit too sensitive at the beginning of acceleration, and then had a big deadspot in the middle of the pedal's travel
W-bigger backseat
W-ceiling glasses case
W-shorter warranty on the accord (36 months)
W-then the passat
W-the GLS 1.8T Automatic (the accord was an EX V-6)
W-the passat lacked the power seats (I figure this is something I would use once: the first time I get in the car...), dual-climate automatic control, and very plain radio display
W-comes with four years of AAA, and the better warranty (60 months)
W-tons of little features, one of my favorite is the 2nd firewall in the engine compartment where the brake fluid and battery are near the driver instead of at the front of the car, so in an accident they aren't the first thing you lose
W-for driving, the passat 1.8T has a Tiptronic transmission, which means that at anytime, you can move the gear selector over a bit and then use it as an automatic manual... (you press it forward to shift up, backwards to shift down), which is very neat and very useful without the hassle of a normal manual transmission
W-the passat was much more firm on the road, as well as steering
W-the turbo kicks in very early, and i had a hard time accelerating off the line smoothly
W-but i think it something I just need to get used to
W-for off-the-line acceleration, the passat was really lacking serious oomph that the accord or I30 had
W-that push you to the back of your seat action
W-I liked the throttle and brake pedal response on the passat much more
 
tkurcI hate power seats
 
W-i thought they were fun
 
tkurcso, I would consider that a passat advantage
 
W-dunno how useful they were..
 
tkurcI would agree that the passat is difficult to accelerate off the line
tkurcbut the acceleration is pretty good
 
W-it was an all-or-nothing thing, it seemed
 
tkurcyou get used to it.. and if you use the tiptronic, your control is even better
tkurcI drive the passat like a sports car... its very fun
 
W-its even funnier because its a wagon you're driving like a sports car
 
tkurcalthough the accord is capable
tkurcaccord probably has better gas mileage in practice
 
W-identical on the stickers
 
tkurcnote the "in practice"
tkurcI like the simplicity of the passat's climate control
 
W-I'm not sure if I would go with gray or black leather with the Blue Anthracite exterior
 
tkurcblack is easier to keep clean. If the dealer has one in stock, go with that one, and bargain him down
 
W-They had just sold both of their Blue Anthracite's on Sunday
W-the dealership i was at also owns the Santa Monica one, which was the top VW dealer in the US for the last two months, so they have plenty up there
W-oh yeah, the bass response on the passat's monsoon system seemed a bit off
W-btw, the passat and accord have virtually identical gas mileage, safety, reliability, and resell value
W-accord has 6-CD, passat is 1
 
tkurc|homego with black!
 
W-ok
 
tkurc|homeAccord is probably going to be more reliable
 
W-VW claims they are ranked as more reliable
W-haven't found a good place to verify it
 
tkurc|homeyeah, well... Honda has very good track record
tkurc|homeI also dislike cd changers
tkurc|homeoh, and my dad said if I get a nissan, he'll disown me
tkurc|homein case you are considering having kids anytime soon, renae claims the passat holds 3 full size car seats in the back seat
 
W-I am not having 3 kids anytime soon
 
tkurc|homewell, sometimes shit happens
 
W-oh is that right? is there going to be a little TONY SMASH! in October or November?
 
tkurc|homenot that I know of!
tkurc|homeso, which way you leaning?
 
W-passat
W-i love its styling and little features
W-comes in at about a grand more
 
tkurc|homeits suprisingly fun to drive
 
W-aye
W-the VW saleman was a cool guy, honda put their female salesman on me
 
(demigod2k) was she hot?
 
W-silence, foolio

Accidently

posted by (Foiba) on 2003-03-12 04:17:57 [#215]
Foibaand i'm campaigning for "Accidently" to be an alternate spelling for "Accidentally"
Foibabecause, honestly.
 
W-i really hate people on the internet who use "prolly"
 
Foibayeah, but "accidently" is on par with "wanna" for appropriate abbreviations
 
W-i use "wanna" "lemme" "gimme" and "dunno" relatively often
W-lemme fix that
W-gimme a sec
W-i dunno about that
W-but I never say them
 
Foibai might start spelling it accident`ly, just so people stop bitching
 
W-I just type them
 
Foibai'm also want ` to be the same as '
 
W-` is so much harsher
W-it verges on painful
 
Foibaand so much easier to type
Foibanot accidently hitting Enter
Foibaaccident`ly
 
W-well watch out using ` twice in a comment, its the Pants mark-up for strikethrough
 
Foiba`accidently
 
W-you just had to tempt fate didn't you...
 
Foibayou can lead a horse to water, but you can't take the jungle out of the monkey
 
W-if by "jungle" you mean "over-use of single-quotes", and by "monkey" you mean "lame-o blogger"
 
Foibaif by "I think I know what I'm talking about," you mean, "The thing (`) under the tilde key isn't a single quote (')" and by "lame-o blogger," you mean, "rockstar."
 
W-then what the heck is it, rockstar?
W-...
 
FoibaI think "the thing under the tilde key" is perfectly suitable. Can't we let God sort it out?
 
W-The Internet calls them "single forward quotes" or "tickmarks"
W-IBM calls it a Grave accent, but they also typo'd "quote" as "quite" earlier in their table
 
Foibaah, good old "letting God sort it out."
 
W-also since there is no forward double quote, the "single" can be dropped from its name, and simply referred to as "forward quote"
W-Nevertheless, of the options available, I think the common man would be most easily able to identify it using the name...
W-uh...
W-Hell most people don't know what a tilde is
W-The God-Sorting Key
 
FoibaWhen I say "gimme," I actually just pronounce it "gim" and no one ever notices.
 
tkurcthe "grave" accent is the french name for it

Pants idea

W-Comment statistics
W-average length of thread, average length of comment
W-who uses biggest words
W-who has shortest linse
W-most monologues
W-<---- and, obviously, who's the most sexy
W-also an idea: a @re-enact command, that would capture the previous number of lines to a thread
 
Foiba<---- Hair. That is combed.
 
W-for when we make a great conversation but forget to log it
W-Combs?!
W-I haven't used a comb in like 12 years
 
FoibaI think that picture was the last time I used a comb.

Random Thought: Conan is the Lowtax of TV

Does it reveal something about our subconcious selves...

posted by (W-) on 2003-03-12 03:43:13 [#210]
W-... that we have Angry and Sad, but not Happy?
 
FoibaI assumed our normal icons were happy.
FoibaI'm kinda smiling.
 
tkurc|homeme too
 
W-Thats what I thought too
W-We're all happy-go-lucky optimists at heart? Is that what is revealed?
 
tkurc|homeyes
 
W-mmmm blog psychology
 
Foibaspeaking of, Blumchen is pretty cool, but I'm oddly disturbed by the Sesame Stret song where all the muppets are yelling at me in German.
Foibathat's kinda how I feel about blogs.
 
W-i love that song
W-although i really sholdn't
W-Blumchen is marketed to 11 and 12 year old girls in germany
 
Foibayeah, and the internet is great too. But when folks post their stupid angsty bullshit on the internet for us to read, I feel like German Muppets are talking to me.
 
W-...
 
FoibaI kinda understand what motivates them, but I don't really want to
Foiba(I'm mainly thinking of my housemate, who has the most pathetic blog I've ever seen)

Foibagood old bear.
 
W-the bear should have realized the nukes could be used for warmth
 
FoibaHe's just a bear.
Foibathis is the storyline for a rarely performed Weezer Cover Band song, btw
 
W-Isn't Afghanistan a desert?
 
FoibaDeserts get cold at night
 
W-Deserts aren't the only ones..
 
Foiba"I'm just a bear and it's so cold outside. Hey, I'm a bear and I wanna go to sleep. Fuck this Cold War and these atomic weapons. Give me some vodka so I can go to sleep."
 
W-A bear could really take in a lot of vodka...
 
tkurc|homeyes
 
W-Google has no idea
 
tkurc|homemuch
tkurc|homeask jeeves
 
W-No, he's a pinko
W-Tony, could you out-drink a bear?
W-back in your prime
 
tkurc|homeno
 
FoibaDude, the bear totally owned the Japanese guy in the hot-dog eating competition on FOX.
FoibaBear was done and looking for more by the time the Japanese guy was halfway through.
 
W-we need more TV shows called "Bears Vs. Japs"
 
FoibaJapanese Guy had a look of total fear on his face when he saw that bear looking at him. For one, he'd shamed his country. For two, he wasn't sure if that bear was looking at him or his plate of hot dogs.
 
W-At this rate, they're going to have to rename it Shamesylvania
 
Foibaor Seppuku-chan-KAWAII >.<
Foibasorry, that's, like, all the Japanese I know
 
W-NO!!!
W-those Japenese-style emoticons make me cry
W-I really don't see why greater than period less than is anything
 
FoibaDude, I have to deal with Japanese people and American people talking Japanese around me all the time
FoibaI finally taught the Japanese the "talky-talky" hand-motion to show I wasn't amused.
 
W-I used to, when i attended Tokyo University, a.k.a. graduate courses... I was wholeheartedly sick of it very quickly
 
FoibaWhen people start doing it around me, I just shout out all the Japanese words I know really loud: "SAYONARA KAWAII WHISKEY-CHAN SAYONARA"
Foiba(This only works well when drunk and on the way to Toys R Us)
 
W-yeah, you're definitely living life too easily
 
FoibaIt happens.

W-I always love to hear about games where you play a hacker
W-Check out the realism in these screenshots
W-Nice IPs...
W-in that screenshot, the quote on the right for your mission: "The man below is living too easily. Change his Personal Status to read Deceased"
W-Living too easily?
W-I think Foiba and I have been doing that for a while...
W-apparently the entire Internet is routed through Ayer's Rock
 
FoibaI prefer depictions of hacking where how good you are simply depends on how fast you can type.
 
W-nor did I realize there was a direct backbone connection between New York City, USA and Caleta Tortel, Chile
 
FoibaThis game only passes mustard if you fight boss battles by mashing the keyboard.

W-so store them before hand, and restore them when you're done with your little duel

What happens when the current trend continues and in ten years, and every college is ineligible for post-season play?

W-So they're automatically national champions by default
